Why? How about a hash map that contains "foo", "Foo", "FOO" and
"foO". What would
#foreach ($i in $hashmap.keys())
$i --> $hashmap.get($i)
#end
result in?
Even if Velocity should be simple for template writers, it still
interfaces with business logic. And here, case-sensititivy counts a
lot. How about a bean that contains
String getXML()
and
String getXml()
methods? Yes, I've seen such code.
I'd -0 for case insensitivity. I don't see good reasons for it and I
can imagine a lot of problems stemming from it.
